For the final Product Focus of the year, we bring you the Caesar Guerini Invictus I Sporting M-Spec 12-gauge O/U, a smooth-handling shotgun that has fixed-choke barrels and the highly regarded Invictus action. Designed with the robustness to shoot over 1 million rounds, the Invictus action sports an easily replaceable locking lug, trunnions and receiver block. There’s nothing quite like a fine Italian-made O/U. Learn more about the M-Spec.

I’m happy to announce the addition of a new writer this month—Josh Honeycutt. He’s a highly accomplished hunter, and his first article for the digital magazine is about how competitive shooting can improve your skills in the field. Honeycutt gathered input from two of our favorite pro shooters and hunters, Doug Koenig and Bruce Piatt, and outlined eight reasons why competitive shooting doesn’t just give people an edge on the range. Check it out “How Competitive Shooting Makes You a Better Hunter” here.

Ensure trouble-free operation for your 10/22 rimfire rig—read his article.

For High Power Rifle shooters, author Serena Juchnowski brings us the scoop on the White Oak Armament Distinguished Service Optic, which after its release in September sold out in mere days.
